Classes

Happy Valley Improv is excited to offer improv classes for students and adults! Our classes have something to offer everyone, whether you're looking for fun, professional or personal development, or a true improv training sequence.

All of our classes are six-week long sessions. All classes are held on Tuesday nights from 7pm-9pm at the Performing Arts School of Central Pennsylvania (map). They are taught by experienced Happy Valley Improv company members.

We offer classes for all experience levels, from beginners to experienced improvisers! Click on a class's picture for more information about that specific class. Registration information is located on each class's individual page.
